Setting

The game takes place in year 2054 in Neo-Arcadia, part of a metaverse created by the company Prisma Dimensions. Within this metaverse, players do battle with each other in a sport known as Crown Rush. The setting has been likened to that of The Oasis found in Ready Player One.
Gameplay

The game's main mode shares elements with other battle royale games, where up to 99 players are dropped on to a map that slowly shrinks over time with players seeking to eliminate the competition. The game however differs in that once the last sector closes a crown appears, any player that is able to hold on to the crown for 45 seconds is automatically declared the winner. Alternatively the game also ends when only one player or team remains.

Throughout the game players can find both weapons as well as special abilities known as "Hacks" such as letting the player transform into a giant ball from which they can bounce around or letting them become invisible. Players can only have two weapons and hacks available at a time although the latter can be swapped out during a round.

When a player is killed they become an "Echo". While Echos can't kill any opponents they are able to "ping" other members of their team to alert them to dangers or points of interest. When an enemy is killed, they drop a revive point which allows a team to respawn fallen teammates.

Throughout the match the AI host can modify the game world, including revealing every enemy on the game's minimap giving weapons infinite ammo or turning on a low-gravity mode. Viewers watching the game on Twitch can vote which will help the AI decide what modifications to turn on.

Like many games in the Battle Royale genre, Hyper Scape uses a tiered battle pass as a reward system for its players. Each season, there will be a battle pass with 100 tiers, each of them including at least one reward. The technical test had a free battlepass with 10 tiers, with 2 player skins at tier 10. The Open beta had a 30 tier battle pass. The rewards namely include new champions along with skins, weapon skins, melee weapons, deployment pods, emblems and sprays, none of which give the player any competitive advantage.

In order to move up a tier on the battle pass, players need to gain 200 experience points. Those points can be obtained in many ways; completing daily and weekly challenges, performing well in games as well as watching and interacting with Twitch streamers will net you experience points. Ubisoft insists that playing the game is still the best way to rank up; players can only earn up to 400 experience points - or 2 tiers - per day, whereas there is no limit when actually playing the game.
